It’s official! 🎉 On Friday, December 15th, REFORM passed Senate Bill 838 in Pennsylvania, creating second chances for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians on probation. Thanks to Senate Bill 838 ➡️ https://bit.ly/PASB838 ✅ 120,000 + people will be able to get their probation terminated early ✅ 300,000+ people will live with fewer restrictions and will be spared from incarceration for technical violations ✅ Hundreds of thousands of people who struggle to pay fines and fees will benefit from a system that takes their financial situation into account. We’re thrilled to share that with this victory in PA, REFORM has officially created pathways for more than 800,000 people to exit the supervision system across 11 different states. We want to thank our legislative champions, our justice-impacted community, and the Pennsylvania Safety Coalition for never giving up hope and sticking together to pass this bill. And of course, a huge thank you to Governor Shapiro for his partnership since day one. #sb838 #probationreform #probation #supervision #philadelphia #formerlyincarcerated #incarcerated #prison #jail #reformalliance #meekmill #michaelrubin

It's time to transform the U.S. criminal justice system
About us
REFORM Alliance aims to transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing. REFORM is bringing together business leaders, advocates, and bipartisan coalitions of policymakers on common-sense solutions to transform probation and parole, dramatically reduce the number of people needlessly trapped in the criminal justice system, and dramatically increase the number of people moving from supervision to work and wellbeing. Our vision is a justice system that holds people accountable and redirects back to work and wellbeing. Instead of keeping people trapped in a revolving door from probation/parole to prison — which costs taxpayers billions of dollars — we’re working to move people from the justice system into stability. Right now, people under probation or parole make up the vast majority of our criminal justice system, yet the issue has received relatively little attention. "

As parents prepare their kids for a new school year, many are also navigating the challenges of #probation or #parole. The current system isn’t supporting them, making it harder to keep families safe and stable. We need a system that believes in #SecondChances, offering real help to parents where they need it most and gain the skills they need to provide for their families. If you believe in giving families a fair chance, join REFORM today. https://lnkd.in/eSVhmFFt

Who is helping the women? The women who are being incarcerated at twice the rate of men. The women who are struggling to take care of their families because of past mistakes? The women who are afraid to fill out that application because of a box they have to check. The women that the system is failing. The women that the media and society have stigmatized. The women with trauma. The women with mental health issues. The women with imposter syndrome. The women who feel like they aren't enough. Who is helping the women? I am... I'm helping the women. Although men are still incarcerated at a much higher rate than women, the rate of growth for women's incarceration has been twice as fast as men's since 1980. In 2022, there were 87,784 women in state or federal correctional facilities in the United States, compared to 1,142,359 men. However, women's incarceration rates are climbing at double the rate of men's in state prisons. Women's incarceration rates have been growing even as many states have reduced their overall use of incarceration. Some say that decarceration efforts are leaving women behind and that jails and prisons, which have historically been designed for men, fail women in specific ways. If we all do a little, none of us have to do a lot.
